She is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley; the Path of Engagement (social justice and spiritual practice training); and Community Dharma Leader training at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California. She has trained in the Hakomi Method (a mindfulness centered somatic healing practice), Awakening Joy developed by James Baraz, Transforming Judgmental Mind developed by Donald Rothberg, and Mindful Self Compassion developed by Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer. Eve is also an accomplished musician, and has released four collections of “Dharma Music” (songs inspired by Buddhist teachings) for adults, and a fifth for children and families.
